Lyrics:

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I got my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you

Baby, don't you know I'm human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
Sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be...
Don't let me be misunderstood

[Lots of tiny sentences]

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that
All I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I've never meant to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I got my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you

Baby, don't you know I'm human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
